METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NON-INTRUSIVE INSPECTION OF CARGO TYPE OBJECTS: MOTOR VEHICLES, CONTAINERS, TRAIN CARS

The present invention consists of a method and a scanning system for the nonintrusive inspection of vehicles, container trucks and train carriages, realized without direct human intervention upon the inspected object, thus eliminating time wasting activities like physical control, unsealing, etc. The proposed method for nonintrusive inspection of vehicles and containers has a high inspection capacity (up to 200 vehicles per hour), by achieving a complete vehicle radiography (except the driver's cabin), while driving through a scanning portal, geometrically optimized to be transported rapidly in ISO standardized containers using conventional transport systems (airplane, ship, train, or terrestrial on public roads). The system which implements the method presented earlier is constituted from a mobile scanning unit and a mobile control center which is positioned outside the exclusion area "a" which remotely command all the processes involved in the nonintrusive inspection.
